Re: HMV Cockleshell Model - Horn Color?
ain’t it true though!
We need to get Curt to research more dealers. I researched the dealer on the side of my Columbia AK and thought that was interesting enough as he was an early enthusiast of photography and recorded sound. Also a famous photographer on the island of Jersey. Where his shop was is now a landmark... but I think the Cockleshell Monarch would be hard to beat.
Years ago there was a clock in a London auction sale promoted as coming from the house of a murderer. The connection didn’t appeal to me though, I think it would have put me off buying it.
